frog, interesting point about instrumentalists studying or reciting lyrics.  I never gave that much consideration before, but it makes sense.  Simply playing the musical lines of a song can allow improvisation.  But knowing the lyrics should allow... 
klipsch cornwall iv upgraded crossovers
eoj, you've heard discussion about upgrades to the CW IV crossover?  I've read a number of favorable reviews of the IV, saying Klipsch mainly revised the crossover from the III.  If you have the IVs they must be nearly new since that was just intr...

pjw, old?  I saw Louie Armstrong and The All Stars live when I was 10 or 11.  Probably not many here in my age group! frog, my subconscious solves many things for me overnight.  Without that I'd be even more lost. ;^) Here's an earlier performan...

Thanks frog.  I've never been a major fan of big bands, but the TJ&MLBB is one I enjoy.  And it was fun watching Thad direct in that video. And that reminded me of one of my favorite Monk albums -

chorus, hopefully this may help some in your now continuing search.  I'll say upfront I don't agree with all the comments made here.  But then this is the internet. ;^) I owned Duntech Princess for 19 years.  That tells a great deal about how I f...

acman3, your succinct reply to my question about brevity was appropriate, so I saw the humor in that. But I realized I should not have included a simple album posting.  Those typically seem to either answer a previous question or offer a recommen...

If you like Joe Pass, check this out.  Playing only with Pederson so very focused.  Try 7:18 for a nice versions of "Round Midnight".

mahgister, sorry if this cuts your digestion time short.  Here are two more guitarists you should know if not already familiar with them.  Interestingly they both recorded with your countryman Oscar Peterson, not exactly a mellow artist, although ...

Interesting point frog (as usual).  I would think someone with Elling's stature could command a better suited conductor.  Someone with a better sense of jazz and "attitude" as you say.

rok, I don’t listen to headphones often but my "go to" for a reasonable price for years has been their HD-580. Great natural tone.
